La guerre telle qu’elle pourrait être

Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2015, Vol 39, Issue 39

Abstract

This paper intends to identify a representation of France at war related neither to gung-ho fiction nor to testimonial fiction in the French war novel of the first half of the 20th century. The vein of the War-as-itcould-be will be characterized by its historical span (dating back to before WW1 and lasting long after WW2), its generic forms (future wars, espionage, melodrama...) and its ideological ambivalence (secret concerns over the French soldier’s frailty and the Army’s ability to adequately defend the country).
